English translation

4747. It was narrated from 'Aishah, the Mother of the Believers, that the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: "It is not permissible to kill a Muslim except in one of three cases: A adulterer who has been married, who is to be stoned; a man who kills a Muslim deliberately; and a man who leaves Islam and wages war against Allâh, the Mighty and Sublime, and His Messenger, who is to be killed, crucified or banished from the land.” (Sâhîh)

Arabic text

4743 - أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَفْصِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، قَال: حَدَّثَنِي إِبْرَاهِيمُ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ بْنِ رُفَيْعٍ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ أُمِّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: " لَا يَحِلُّ قَتْلُ مُسْلِمٍ إِلَّا فِي إِحْدَى ثَلَاثِ خِصَالٍ: زَانٍ مُحْصَنٌ فَيُرْجَمُ، وَرَجُلٌ يَقْتُلُ مُسْلِمًا مُتَعَمِّدًا، وَرَجُلٌ يَخْرُجُ مِنَ الْإِسْلَامِ فَيُحَارِبُ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَرَسُولَهُ، فَيُقْتَلُ أَوْ يُصَلَّبُ، أَوْ يُنْفَى مِنَ الْأَرْضِ "

Commentary

The author's proof is founded on the apparent wordings that apart from these three crimes, it is not permissible to take anyone's life; and the second crime among these three crimes is to kill some Muslim, not an unbeliever.
